Vodafone and Mobinil Launch iPhone 3G in Egypt

It is official iPhone 3G is now available in Egypt via Vodafone and mobinil, making Egypt the first Arab country to have a iPhone 3G officially.

Vodafone Egypt’s website announced the availability of iPhone 3G, so does mobinil’s website . I also saw an ad for Vodafone announcing the availability on MBC TV.

I do not have enough information about the pricing and plans VodaFone, but the iPhone 3G will only run on Vodafone network, meaning no unlocked iPhones. (I have contacted Vodafone for more info before, but they did not reply, I’ll try again now.)

As for mobinil the prices are iPhone 3G 8GB for 3,800 Egyptian Pounds (EGP), iPhone 3G 16GB for 4,450 EGP, with special plans designed for iPhone.

Vodafone iPhone 3G launch in Egypt is part of an agreement between the mobile operator and Apple to sell iPhone in ten markets worldwide for Vodafone customers in Australia, the Czech Republic, Egypt, Qatar, Greece, Italy, India, Portugal, New Zealand, South Africa and Turkey .

ArabCrunch was first to report in the news that Orange will launch iPhone 3G sometimes this month in Jordan, which was confirmed by Orange representative, however there seems to be some delays in the launch, since Orange Jordan did not get the 3G license yet in Jordan! Nevertheless I will update AC’s readers with Orange position in this.

I would like to thank you for this great website.
You r making a nice job.
about Iphone 3G. it is available 2 weeks ago
and the price is same for mobinil and vodafone
for 8g =3800 EGP and for 16=4450 EGP
but Unfortunately it doesn’t have GPS as egypt formally prevents GPS in mobile phones.

@ next both vodafone and mobinil websites do not mention a date of the launch. but sorry i should have asked people in egypt about the launch date, and that the link u posted is part of the post already. anyways the breaking has been deleted.

@ahmed thank you for the info, please email me ur twitter so u can update me of things in Egypt, r u from there?

Thank you for providing such news from the Arab world, I notice that so maybe Arabs are interested on iPhone, I wrote some posts before about that when I found the Arabic translation for it, but I think iPhone will has Arabic now as they are sealing it in the middle east.. is that true?
